"Westly, what about the R.O.U.S.es?" "Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist." - The Princess Bride

Thanks for the update.

They're called "Sumprush Rodents" so you figure they would be located in Townlong Steppes in the "Lower Sumprushes" or the "Upper Sumprushes" along with the "Sumprusher Mist Lurkers" who give out "Sumprush" maces.

Edit: Actually, they're obtained from 2000x Commissions from the new PvP areas in Krasarang Wilds apparently. You can get a "Rodent Crate" from the vendors for your faction.

Note that you do not get the pet directly, but instead temporarily activate Sumprush Rodents as battle critters. When I purchased a box, the entire area near the commendation vendor gets bathed in fast respawning Sumprush Rodents for 20 minutes. They are not visibly restricted to only the crate user and there appears to be a zone-wide alert when you have used the box.

They respawn as long as the box lasts, so no need to fight over them. If you're planning on getting a box and putting one down you may want to let your friends and guildies know beforehand so they can get theirs.

Edit: For those asking, it's a max level 25 pet. Not sure about the two accompanying pets but I believe they are as well. And of course capture de-levels it to 23.

I found loads at domination point around 9.8, 52.9. It was 13:30. 15 mins later they were all gone.

I bought a crate of these today and have to say I was quite disappointed. After spending several days farming the 2000 Lion's Landing Commissions and in the twenty minutes that the rodents were active I didn't come across a single Rare quality one. I captured the first green Uncommon one I engaged and white flagged the rest in the hope of finding a Rare quality one, but it wasn't to be. The twenty minutes soon expired. Now I have to spend another several days farming another 2000 Lion's Landing Commissions.

I used my crate today. But before doing it, I warned everyone in the Trade Channel. Then I flew by all maps of Pandaria, warning in the General Channel too.

When I returned to Domination Point, the place was crowded! Everyone waiting in front of the box... The poor critters barely moved...I didn't mind the competition though, because I already had this pet.I only used the box to help a friend of mine... But then I thought: why not help the whole realm? ^^After a few minutes, someone said he got a rare one (mine was common) so I decided to try too.In the last 30 sec of the crate, I found a rare one! Guess it was karma...

Got mine today. Spent 15 minutes going through them as fast as possible before I found my rare one. Had 4 extra ones left after it before the spawns ended.

As the Rodent Crate says, pets appear at Domination Point. No matter at which exact spot you use the crate - they will spawn in the main camp of Domination Point.

There are always five pets active - it spawns right after you finish a battle. After 20 minutes they don't disappear, they just stop spawning.

They are level 24 or 25. Their secondaries are always the same level as the Rodent and are basically all the pets you can catch in Krasarang Wilds. In 28 battles I got 3 rares.

Hope this helps and happy hunting!

The Rodent Crate has changed. As of 5.2, they continue spawning for at least 40 minutes (timed it on 3/6/13) and there may or may not be a finite number of them.

You do not need this pet for the Safari achievement, just a heads up.

Comment by thrinetu

as of 5.4 it appears that contrary to what the tooltip on the rodent cage states, they continue to respawn for up to an hour. they also cannot be killed outside of a pet battle; unsure if this is intended.

Comment by erSch

As of 5.4, these can no longer be killed directly, out of pet battle. This means, you have to kill at the first pet and cancel the pet battle, so a new one can respawn. Looking for a rare, I suggets to use a mechanical pet, which is strong against beast pets, to kill the rodent quickly, which is always the first pet in every combat.

Also, the cage does no longer last 20 minutes, but a full hour, now.

Comment by AngusBeef1

Got 2 rares within the hour (plus 3 other rares)
